Let's play a game

I saw this on ESPN the other week during their spring training trip from Arizona to Florida. John Kruk, one of my favorite Phillies and former Baltimore Sun writer, now ESPN Insider Tim Kurkjan, were playing the ABC's of spring training. They were using all the letters of the alphabet to come up with a word or phrase or team that would be key to the 2011 season.
So, I got to thinking (which is sometimes dangerous) how to adapt this to Columbia. So here goes. Since recently there was a newspaper article written about Columbia's nicknames, I decided to do one for Columbia sports. At each letter listed below, add a name that begins with that letter of someone who participated in Columbia High School sports. They can be current athletes, coaches, or athletes or coaches back in the day, as us old timers like to say.
But to make it a little more difficult, it can't be any name. They have to be either an all-star in their sport; 1,000 point scorer or 100 win wrestler; champion; championship coach, Hall of Fame member or member of a championship team.
I will continue to take names for the next two weeks and on April 1 post the winners. So for example, the letter A could stand for Anspach or Afari; B could be Burke or Beaston, etc.
